Johnny Weir finishes Dancing with the Stars run in semifinals

Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir finished sixth on “Dancing with the Stars” with partner Britt Stewart, eliminated one week before the finals.

“There’s no nice way to do this, but I do want to say thank you to everybody who has gone on this journey with us,” Weir said Monday night. “It’s been such a humbling and honorable experience to be here and entertain you guys.”

Weir, now an NBC Sports analyst, extended a run of strong showings from Olympians and Paralympians on the show, which is now in its 29th season. He was the top finisher of the three athletes this season.
